My brothers and sisters,
Islam is not a buffet
where you pick and choose what suits you.
Allah said, Will you be?
Are you those who
take something
from the Kitab, from the book of Allah
and you leave out the rest?
Do you believe in some things and you
do not believe in others?
This is the big problem.
This is
the big problem
of,
many of us where we
pick and choose. We like to pick and
choose,
but that's not,
that is not what Islam is. Right?
So Allah said, as I mentioned before,
Allah
as I said
said, do you believe in some of the
of the scripture, the book and you reject
the rest? And then Allah is Allah is
answering,
asking a rhetoric, rhetorical question and answering it.
And he says,
is there any reward for those who do
so among you other than disgrace in this
worldly life
and being subjected to the harshest
punishment,
harshest punishment on the day of judgment.
For Allah is never unaware,
never
of what you do. Allah is not unaware
of what you do. You cannot hide from
Allah
Now this is
in
a walnut shell, not a coconut shell.
This is in a shell,
the problem
with
us
today.
The problem of the Muslims today
is not that we
we are not Kufar.
We do not deny. We do not,
we are not atheists,
but we pick and choose. We like to
pick and choose.
It is as if came with a,
with multiple
flavors of Islam. Right? Sugar free Islam and
salt free Islam and diabetic Islam
and Islam for hypertensives
and,
fat free Islam and
I mean, think about that.
Islam came as one thing. Islam came as
one religion. Islam did not come with different
flavors. I don't like this. I can do
that. I don't like that, so I can
do that. No.
The whole
point of Islam is to make
our desires
subservient
to
the will of Allah
and that is the reason why Rasool Allah
said you will never have faith
until
you
make what
you want and your will
subservient
to and subject to the deen that I
have brought.
He said this very clearly. He said, you
cannot have faith. You can say what you
want, but you will never have faith until
you make
subservient
your will
to the dean,
to the religion that I have brought.
And this is our problem. May Allah protect
us from ourselves.
So Islam is not about picking and choosing.
Islam is about
obedience
and submission
because
we know Allah.
Obedience and submission
because we love
Allah The attitude of the Muslim
is not simply submission,
but to submit joyfully,
to want to submit,
to love to submit,
to live to submit, to submit to the
one who created us and blessed us in
ways we cannot count, who protect us, protects
us from all evil,
and tests us and helps us to pass
the tests
and rewards us in this life and even
more in the next.
To submit joyfully to the only one who
is worthy of worship.
To submit because and as evidence
that we trust Allah
to know and to do what is best
for us,
To submit,
knowing that what is with Allah
is better than what is with us with
us.
Right?
And that's why I said, no, missus Salam,
tomorrow meaning in the day of judgment in
the,
I will please you.
That is the reward of submission. You submit
in this life, and Allah
will please you in the next life.
To submit,
knowing that what is with Allah is better
than what is with us.
To submit to demonstrate
our allegiance to Allah
through his messenger, Muhammad
My brothers and sisters,
the 2 connections which will go with us
when we leave this world,
The connection with that
is Allah and his messengers, the two connections
which will go with us when we leave
this world are our connection with Allah
and his messenger, Rasoolullah The
connection with Rasoolullah
will be our identity when we meet Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and we will be called
by it,
by that identity on that day.
You'll be called as the ummat of Muhammad
So
who is the ummati of Muhammad
The one who obeys him or the one
who disobeys him?
Think about this,
what has happened to our minds?
So Islam, therefore, is not only to submit,
but to want to do it, to find
joy and fulfillment in doing it, to do
it proudly as a sign of our identity,
which we don't hide, but display as we
display famous brands.
And that is why for a true Muslim,
to submit is not a struggle at all.
It is what he loves to do.
Allah
told us about the one who submitted joyfully,
Ibrahim
When his brother did submit, he said, I
have submitted.
I have submitted
to the rub of
all the worlds. Alright. Let me.
I killed too. I have eaten. I have
I have I have drunk.
Right?
I left. I went.
So
I have submitted.
He does ask for time. He doesn't hesitate.
He doesn't say, let me think about this
for a while.
He doesn't say, I will submit if it
makes sense to me or if it seems
logical to me
or if it is politically correct or whatever.
He said, I have submitted.
We submit because we trust Allah
and that trust produces complete peace of mind.
A total absence of fear because we know
who is in control.
When we submit,
our will is superseded
by the desire to please Allah
and that is why the slave has no
will of his own.
He wants whatever his rub wants for him.
As one of the scholars said in my
brother,
Farid from,
Hyderabad sent me that little clip this morning
as I was writing this
this,
reminder. It came to me.
The scholar says the love of Allah
is the purest
and greatest of all love.
The love of Allah
is the purest
and greatest of all loves.
It gives life to the heart.
It is sustenance for the soul
and is the roadway
to eternal success.
Love is the road to Jannah.
It is the main reason we worship Allah
and it is the only way to live
a true meaningful life on earth.
SubhanAllah.
What a beautiful
reminder. What beautiful words.
To submit because we love Allah, because we
trust Allah
You know, the ajeev, the strange thing is
we do we live our lives in such
a mechanical way.
We do this, for example,
with all
professionals in our life.
People who know more than we know because
they have specialized in that profession.
You don't go to a doctor and tell
him what to prescribe. You go to a
doc doctor and ask him. And when he
tells you do this or do that, eat
this or eat that, you do it.
You don't say no. No. Hold on a
second. I'm not convinced. Why must I eat
this? No.
You obey.
You go to a to something is wrong
with your car. You go to the mechanic.
You don't tell the mechanic what to do.
You tell the mechanic what's wrong with the
car, and the mechanic then fixes the car
and, you know, gives you a bill and
you pay the bill.
You don't teach him how to do his
work.
Similarly, with any professional,
you sit in a plane, you are literally
handing over your life to the pilot.
You don't even know the pilot. Think about
this, how how how amazing it is. You
don't know the pilot. You do not even
know his name.
There was a time when they used to
announce that.
I mean, not that it makes any difference,
but, you know,
I don't even know I don't see they
even do that now. You don't know his
name. You don't know if he's a real
pilot or not. You don't know if he's
qualified or not. There was a there was
a case of of couple of 100 PIA,
Pakistani
airline
pilots who are flying without licenses.
I mean, they knew how to fly, but
they had no pilot's license. And they were
you know,
thanks to corruption or something, they had been
given, jobs, and they were flying all over
Pakistan
until it came to light, and there was
a big scandal.
So you board a plane. You don't ask
any questions,
and you have complete faith and trust that
this man
knows how to fly the plane that they
will land it safely.
But when it comes to Allah
who we know?
Because Allah
introduced himself to us. We see the signs
of Allah in
everything around us. We see the signs of
Allah
within us and around us and surrounding us.
And yet when it comes to obeying Allah
we have questions.
Isn't that strange? Isn't that the the the
strangest and the saddest and the most tragic
thing?
I remind myself in conclusion that this love
of Allah
is a gift.
It is the reward
of submission.
Tawakul, which is complete trust in Allah,
is the reward of taqwa.
We make the effort to have and live
with taqwa.
Allah sent
us Ramadan
to make us
not to make us.
Allah grants us
as a gift,
as a prize
which results in the complete absence of fear
of anything in the duniya
if we have taqwa, if we live our
lives
according to the will of Allah
I ask Allah to make us among the
and to grant us
so that we also become among the
